NEW YORK, March THE same de-
pressing influences which affected the
stock market yesterday were potent to-
day, and the market was dull and heavy
throughout the greater part of the day,
but was subject to periods Of activity
and decided weakness. Usually the active
stocks of known character were generally
well held, while the important losses
were in such securities as Rich
mond and West Point, Cotton-Seed Oil
certificates and others Of like reputation.
There was very little support given the
market. The opening was rather heavy,
a majority OF stock being slightly under
last evenings final quotations. There
were few slight advances in the early
dealings, but the entire market soon
yielded, Jersey Central showing decided
weakness. There was q slight rally
toward noon but after that
time downward movement in
Richmond and West Point and New En-
land occurred, and marked increase in
the amount of business done was noticed.
The most pronounced rally of the day oc
CURED toward . p. m, but toward the
close the market again became heavy and
dull, the last prices generally being but
little better than the lowest reached.
Government bonds were dull and

JEFFERSON, TEX, March LIN the
Federal court to- day the case of William
?. Patrick and John Beck of Sulphur
Springs, charged with robbing the post
office in that city on October 10, 1885,
was concluded. The robbery created
quite a sensation when it occurred on &C.
count of the skilful manner in which the
office was entered and the safe cracked.
The parties accused were prominent and
respectable. They were vigorously pros
eCuted and ably defended. The Jury,
after retiring few moments, returned a
verdict of "not guilty" in each case and
in all the counts of indictment. The real
criminal. one Hennessey, has never been
arrested, and his accessory, one Har-
wood, was arraigned last term of court
here, pleaded guilty and after serving a
short while in prison was pardoned by
the President. He was here as witness
for the government.
This morning about 3 O'Clock freight
train on the Texas and Pacific Railroad,
three miles north of this city, was de-
rallied, causing a wreck of three cars of
fine mules and horses, which were en-
route from Ken lucky to Western Texas.
a deficient bridge was the cause of the
accident. The scene was horrible beyond
description. Seventy-tive mules and two
fine horses were killed outright and many
wounded and disabled. 1t required over
seven hours to clear the track.

Please allow space in your columns for

of no other way to reach those for whom
it is intended. The men of Fort Worth
have responded with liberal hearts and
open purses to the cry for help from our
unfortunate neighbors. 1t is time now
for the women to take the field. Being
one of this number, sincerely hope we
may not be found wanting in this good
work. | wish to call attention to the
fact thet the Cattlemen's convention will
meet in this city next Monday and Tues
day. Would it not be good idea
to give q dinner in some central
locality on those days. In this way quite
3 sum might be realized. The object of
the enterprise would commend itself, and
would, no doubt, be largely patronized.
Will not some good workers designate
q place and call meeting of the ladies at
once to arrange matters? This is g most
excellent opportunity, do not let it slip.
We feel sure that an effort in TINS direc-
ton wi | not be in vain.
As the years 90 by our positions might
be reversed, then would we find that our
good deeds were not forgotten. "Bread
